Xiao Yi, the head of the old family, smiled and said: "The five-clawed tripod is roaring? What does this mean? Aren't you suspicious of something again?"
Weng Benchu and Yao Chang looked at each other again. They were mentally prepared for the reaction of the old family leader. The old family leader once served in the army and politics. He had a strong personality and was a staunch materialist, so he never believed in any mysteries.
things.
However, Weng Benchu and Yao Chang are different. After so many generations, the Weng family has been the housekeeper of the Xiao family, and the Yao family has been the priests of the Xiao family. Naturally, they cannot be as free and easy as the old family master. What they have to do
It is to maintain the prosperity of the Xiao family and pass it on from generation to generation!
The priest Yao Chang's exercises were traditional and he covered a wide range of subjects. He explained: "Master, the five-clawed cauldron has not vibrated for thirty-one years." The old master's eyes fell on Yao Chang at this moment: "Three
Eleven years?" Yao Chang said: "Yes, old master, it's been thirty-one years. The last time there was a tremor was when Xiao Rongrong's son, Xiao Zheng, was born."
The head of the old family said: "Oh, there was a roar when Rongrong's son Xiao Zheng was born! Hey, it's true that I'm sorry for Rongrong, letting him wander outside for so many years and he has never returned to the family!" Yao Chang, the priest, immediately bowed his head.
He admitted his mistake and said: "Old master, this is my fault. I deserve to die." It turned out that when the five-clawed cauldron vibrated thirty-one years ago, Yao Chang had just taken over the position of priest from his father and was still in charge of many affairs.
In the stage of learning, exploration and familiarity, the five-clawed tripod vibrated once every few decades. His father did not think that the vibrating would occur in the near future, so he did not ask him to turn it off at all times.
Note. As a result, when the five-clawed cauldron first vibrated, it did not attract his attention. When his father mentioned it to him later, he noticed that the five-clawed cauldron had been vibrating slightly. At this time, Xiao Rongrong had already stubbornly taken his commoner wife with him.
He and his weak son left the family and traveled thousands of miles south to make a living. His son Xiao Zheng also grew up in the southern mountain village. It can be seen that the vibration of the five-clawed tripod is inevitably related to Xiao Zheng's birth!
Hearing Yao Chang's self-blame and shouldering all the responsibilities on himself, the head of the old family waved his hands on the recliner and said: "It's been so long, Chang doesn't have to blame himself for this matter. Rongrong's son Xiao
"Zheng, how are things going recently?" Yao Chang's eyes turned to Weng Benchu. Butler Weng obviously knew this matter better than him, the priest.
Weng Benchu knew that the old master had not asked about this matter for several years, but now he asked about it in person, and immediately reported: "Old master, young master Xiao used to work in the township, and later came to the county and became the county magistrate of An County.
Later, he was sent to Baoyuan County in Ninggan County to serve as the county party committee secretary to carry out poverty alleviation!" The head of the old family asked: "He is thirty-one years old and has become the county party committee secretary?" Weng Benchu said: "I live in my hometown. This is called a general without weak soldiers.
, a tiger father has no dog sons!”
"Benchu, please don't try to put money on my face." The old head of the family shook his head and said, "How many really powerful people do we have in the Xiao family in Huajing? But Rongrong has always been against me.
, he just refuses to come to the Xiao family! Xiao Zheng is his son, so naturally he will not come back! Hey!"
In the eyes of the old patriarch, Xiao Rongrong is the youngest son, the most stubborn, and the most disobedient. He broke up with the family for a common woman and lived among the grassroots for so many years! The old patriarch has always had this knot in his heart, but in fact, he also has the most stubborn heart.
My dear, I can’t let go of this son the most. Xiao Rongrong has not behaved according to common sense since he was a child. On the surface, he eats, drinks, has fun, and does not do his job, but he is always holding back his anger. If he really needs to tell him something, he can do it faster than anyone else.
.If he were in charge of the Xiao family, the Xiao family would probably not be like this today! But Mr. Xiao has five children. He usually values the older ones and ignores the younger ones. He has to strike a balance. He cannot show preference for Xiao Rongrong, the youngest.
Even want to wrong him.
Weng Benchu clearly heard the frustration of the old Patriarch, and immediately said: "Old Patriarch, the situation is changing, and people will also change. I personally think that maybe in the not-too-distant future, there will be a Young Master Rongrong and a Young Master Xiao Zheng.
This is an opportunity for the young master to return to the family together." The old patriarch turned to the priest again: "Chang, do you think so?" Yao Chang then raised his head and echoed: "Old patriarch, if we divide for a long time, we will unite, and if we unite for a long time, we will divide. I have done some research recently.
Young Master Rongrong has been away for more than thirty years, and it is almost time to return to the family, and once Young Master Rongrong comes back this time, he will definitely not leave again!"
After hearing this, the old family leader showed a rare smile on his face and said: "I hope so. In addition, the sound of the 'Five-clawed Cauldron' you mentioned just now means that a new member has been born in the family?" said the priest Yao Chang.
: "Not only is a new person born in the family, but this new life is very likely to eventually become the head of the Xiao family." The old family leader said: "So at the moment, whether it is within our family or outside
The Xiao family?"
Weng Benchu said: "Old Master, we have checked everything in the clan, and no young master or young master's wife is in love. We guess, could it be that young master Xiao Zheng is in love with some woman again?"
The head of the old family turned sideways on the recliner and asked: "Rong Rong's son is already married? Why didn't I know?" Weng Benchu said hurriedly: "Not married yet. Otherwise we will definitely report to the head of the old family. But the young master Xiao Zheng
I have been getting to know a girlfriend during my visits to Lushui Village in the past few years. Her name is Chen Hong, and she is the daughter of a deputy division cadre. Chen Hong herself is already the deputy director of the Organization Department of the Municipal Party Committee.
Yes. I want to confirm whether she is pregnant in the near future."
The head of the old family said: "I don't care about these specific things. You can go and do it. Besides, I am resting here and there is nothing important, so don't disturb me."
The old master issued an order to expel guests. Naturally, Weng Benchu and Yao Chang understood. They immediately stood up from their simple chairs, bowed and saluted slightly and said: "Don't worry, old master, we will do our best to find out the situation as soon as possible."
The reason why the five-clawed cauldron vibrated this time." The old family leader waved to them, indicating that they could leave.
Weng Benchu and Yao Chang walked out. When they reached the door, the old master suddenly stopped the housekeeper: "Benchu, if it involves Rongrong and his son, you can come to me at any time."
Weng Benchu was overjoyed. It could be seen that as the old man got older, he paid more and more attention to Xiao Rongrong, his living son. Weng Benchu replied: "Old man, I understand. In addition, old man, I have a son."
Suggestion, just now you said 'Rong Rong and his son', in fact Xiao Zheng is the grandson of the old family master. From now on, wouldn't it be better to call him 'Xiao Zheng grandson'?" Xiao Yi, the old family master, had a slight smile on his face.
His face grew joyful, and he said: "You, Benchu, know how to get into trouble! Okay, I understand. If anything happens to Rongrong and my grandson in the future, come to me at any time." Weng Benchu bowed and said: "Yes.
."
The next morning, the trip to Baokang Village went on as scheduled.
Yun Qi, a geological expert from Huajing, and his team heard about the situation of Bao Mine from Fang Ya. They were very interested and already eager to try it!
Ninggan Provincial Propaganda Department.
Wei Pan Shu was resting for two weeks due to braking and was temporarily unable to move and could not go to Baokang Village. But what he didn't expect was that Liu Shisen called early in the morning and asked to go to Baokang Village with the large army. Fang Ya wanted to let him go to Baokang Village.
He had a good rest, but Liu Shisen said, this visit to Ninggan opened my eyes. I was beaten up by the gangsters here yesterday, what will I encounter next? I really want to go there!
Fang Ya looked at this cousin who used to live in the comfort of Huajing, in an incubator, with a plaster bandage on his left hand, and now he took the initiative to go to Baokang Village, which showed that something about Liu Shisen was also undergoing subtle changes.
.
Because there were so many people going this time, the county used a large truck. Fang Ya also spent her own money to buy hundreds of boxes of mineral water, and asked a truck from the county's department store wholesale department to pull it and follow behind. Su Qicai
Somewhat curious, she asked: "Mr. Fang, what are you doing?" Fang Ya smiled at her and said, "The last time I went to Baokang Village, the villagers were very nervous when they drank water, but they were moved dozens of miles away.
The water brought from the local area can be used to give us a hot bath!" Su Qicai said: "Mr. Fang, do you want to 'repay the kindness of a drop of water with a spring of water'?"
Fang Ya said: "That's not to say, I just want the people in Baokang Village to have a sip of sweet water." Xiao Zheng listened and felt a little emotional in his heart. Fang Ya always came and went like the wind, without any worries.
, he didn’t expect to remember the villagers’ drinking water problem, which was a bit beyond his expectation!
Inside the county, Lei Kunbu, director of the county party committee office, and Ren Yongle, his secretary, accompanied him and notified Baoling Township, where Baokuang Village is located, in advance. So, a large van in front and an old truck filled with water at the back headed towards Baokuang Village.
Go ahead.
This morning, the city.
Party Secretary Chen Qingshan called the municipal finance director and asked if the 300 million yuan in poverty alleviation funds allocated by the province had arrived. The finance director said that it had been received yesterday. Chen Qingshan said, give 2
Hundreds of millions of funds can be allocated as soon as possible.
Chen Qingshan had already promised Xiao Zheng that 100 million would be kept in the city for use. The other 200 million was obtained by Xiao Zheng and allocated to Baoyuan. Since he had promised, Chen Qingshan hoped to fulfill his promise as soon as possible.
But the city finance director said with difficulty: "Secretary Chen, Mayor Dai said that this fund can be used for many purposes. The city must make overall plans and not take so much to Baoyuan."
